Chapter 296: Surpass Me, Wally
"Are you ready, Yang Le?"

Superman's concerned voice came from the headset. The gentle yet powerful voice gave Yang Le a lot of comfort.

"I'm fine here." Yang Le took a few deep breaths, trying his best to drive away the tension and fear from his heart, and slowly moved his gaze to a place not far away, where the Flash and Kid Flash were standing.

The Flash's figure is much thinner than before, and it is obvious that he has not fully recovered yet. However, he still stands in front of Kid Flash with his head held high and chest puffed out, and keeps talking. He must be telling Kid Flash something, right?

"Remember that, Wally?"

Faced with Barry's question, Wally's originally nervous heart was replaced by impatience. After all, Barry had asked this question several times.

"I remember that." Wally quietly rolled his eyes. "You lead the way, and I'll chase you from behind. Once you reach a certain speed, you'll break away, just like a windbreaker in a marathon."

That’s right, this is the plan Barry came up with. Barry is well aware of his current physical condition. Although he doesn’t know how fast he needs to run to summon the blue shadow, he definitely cannot achieve it with his current condition.

The origin of this plan is Barry's previous chase with the blue shadow. During that chase, Barry's speed broke through the previous limit under the leadership of the blue shadow, so Barry speculated that Wally should also be able to break through his own limit under his leadership.

In fact, there is no need for Barry to be so anxious. It will be the same if he waits until he recovers from his injuries and then runs away on his own. Batman and the others also advised him so, but Barry thinks this is a rare opportunity.

When Barry was lying on the hospital bed, he rarely slowed down to think. Before this, Wally had been growing up under his care. The number of times Wally completed tasks independently was very few, and most of them were tasks with low danger levels. This also led to Wally's slow growth.

Moreover, Barry had a different understanding after this injury. He suddenly realized that death was so close to him. Superheroes have always been very dangerous, but years of fighting crime have made him subconsciously ignore this point.

He might die on a mission. What if Wally still hasn't grown up by then? What if the Justice League doesn't have a speedster who can stand on his own?
Barry knew that he should let go. The chick might even forget how to fly if it stayed under its parents' wings. This was a good opportunity because of the uncertainty of the enemy. Almost half of the Justice League were nearby. As soon as there was any change, they would appear from all directions.

So even though the enemy is dangerous, Wally's safety can be guaranteed. There are so many heroes present. As long as Wally doesn't do anything stupid, they will not be unable to save Kid Flash.

"Remember, I may leave at any time, so you must be prepared for the worst." Barry was still a little worried and reminded Wally again. This time, the latter didn't even bother to roll his eyes.

Barry, who understood his parents' feelings in advance, shook his head helplessly, turned around and wanted to make final preparations, but heard Wally's voice behind him.

"I get it. You better be careful not to break yourself apart. You look like a stick insect right now."

"I will." Barry's mouth curled up slightly, and he felt his body lighter.

"We have Batman ready here."

"Got it. I'll start the countdown later. All units, be prepared." Batman tapped his arm armor to confirm the time.

"Roger that!"

Yang Le continued to take deep breaths, not only because of the possible danger that might be approaching, but also because of his mysterious past.

"3." Barry lowered his body slightly and assumed a ready position, and Wally behind him did the same.

"2."

The members of the Justice League had a clear division of labor. Those who could keep up with the speed of the Flash focused their attention on Barry and the others, while the rest looked at Yang Le to prevent any accidents.

"1."

Barry had just vanished from the spot as Batman finished his words. Wally was slightly startled and then disappeared as well. The speedster started running and all they had to do now was wait quietly.

Wally, who was following behind Barry, couldn't help but complain in his heart, because in his opinion Barry didn't look like a man who had just climbed out of a hospital bed. His speed was almost the same as before he was injured. Wally had a hard time keeping up.

Barry ran forward desperately. Wally was actually wrong. If he was not injured, he could take the time to check on Wally's condition, but Barry had no spare energy at this moment.

And his breathing rhythm was also very bad. After all, his body had not fully recovered. Even though his spirit was still strong, his body was already protesting against him. It was telling Barry that he had to stop now.

But they had only run halfway around the world, and Barry's speed had not yet increased. If he retreated at this moment, Wally alone would definitely not be able to reach the speed required to summon the blue shadow.

Barry gritted his teeth and increased his speed again despite his body's protests. More golden electricity flowed out of him and passed to Wally behind him.

Wally behind him was also feeling uncomfortable at this time. Just keeping up with Barry's speed took up all his energy, and he had no time to pay attention to other things.

But Wally could tell just by thinking that Barry must be in a very bad condition now, but Wally would not say anything about stopping, because he knew that would make all Barry's previous efforts in vain.

Finally, after the third circle around the earth, that is, one second later, a large amount of golden electric current began to appear on Wally's body, and the distance between him and Barry continued to decrease, gradually becoming only two body lengths apart.

Feeling the urgency of the people pressing on from behind, Barry smiled. He knew Wally had done it. He had known for a long time that Wally could do it. He never doubted it.

Now there is only one thing Barry needs to do, and that is to get out of the way. The rest of the journey depends on Wally himself.

Looking at the back of the person who made way for him, the meaning was self-evident. Wally raised the corners of his mouth. He knew that he could do it now.

Without hesitation, Wally increased his speed and overtook Barry, running forward alone. Looking at Wally running past him, Barry suddenly felt a sense of relief.

At this time, Wally, who had passed Barry, felt the feeling of being chased that Barry had been telling him about in the past few months. His eyes narrowed, and Wally knew that the real culprit had arrived.

"This is Superman." Clark was floating a thousand meters above the ground, his eyes fixed on Wally.

"I saw it. The blue shadow appeared again."
